Volunteers and Toys Needed for Birthday Wishes

Birthday Wishes is pleased to announce the opening of our new Birthday-in-a-Box office in Lexington, MA, on the campus of the Cotting School. We are delighted that our long-time volunteer and Party Coordinator, Mary Heveran, will serve as our new Birthday-in-a-Box Program Manager. Welcome Mary!

For the past several years, we have experienced significant growth in our Birthday Box program, which now provides more than 150 boxes per month state-wide to homeless children. The program was created in 2005 for those children living in domestic violence shelters, scattered sites, hotels, and other locations which cannot accommodate Birthday Wishes volunteers. It allows Birthday Wishes to reach homeless children in almost any living situation. Moving this program to a separate facility will greatly increase our capacity to meet the growing needs of this program, while offering improved efficiency and oversight.
